This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in January 2007 for £560 in the following condition:
This beautiful scarce set is in overall excellent condition - most of the models in the set vary from excellent to mint, and the box is showing some age wear, but it is all complete, and this looks like it has been well cared for during the last 40 years.

The whole beautiful set comes in its complete original polystyrene and card picture box - the lid is showing some overall age wear and a little light creasing, with a small surface repair to the bottom left corner of the main picture face, plus a very small price label surface tear to one blue side edge, but is overall clean, bright and strong and 100 per cent complete and intact, while the polystyrene tray is also showing some wear and apart from a couple of small dings is virtually intact - the models sit snug and tight inside.
Overall a superb and very rarely offered gift set - don't miss out on this extremely rare opportunity to acquire a very nice antique collectible that can only increase in value over the years!
